Indicadores para acompanhamento de empreendimentos de economia solidária em editais públicos do governo da Bahia

Abstract

In a capitalist society marked by profound inequalities, public administrators face the challenge of ensuring decent living and working conditions for a significant portion of the population. This task requires promoting equity in the distribution of wealth and income, in addition to seeking alternatives to combat exclusion, hunger, unemployment, and poverty. It also demands new ways of acquiring and distributing goods and services that promote generating jobs, income, socio-productive inclusion, and quality of life. Given this context, it is necessary to adopt criteria that expand the possibilities of social management in implementing this public policy in Bahia. The following question then arises: What indicators can be included in the public notices for the Solidarity Economy of the government of Bahia, with the purpose of including, through decent work, people in situations of poverty and with labor potential, with a view to their emancipation? The general objective of the research is: To examine the context of Ecosol and the indicators used in the public notices of Bahia for monitoring and monitoring solidarity economy enterprises, in order to propose the inclusion of indicators of social utility. The specific objectives are: To discuss ECOSOL, its theoretical principles, trajectories, and characteristics in Brazil and Bahia, focusing on public notices from the State of Bahia (2012-2024) and the performance indicators contained in the notices; to contextualize the creation of CESOL and the execution of the technical assistance service in the identity territories of Bahia by social organizations; to reflect on indicators and indicators of social utility for the execution, monitoring and improvement of the ECOSOL policy; and to analyze the perception of public managers and coordinators about the importance of the indicators in the notices of the State of Bahia for the execution, monitoring and monitoring of the ECOSOL public policy, according to the theoretical basis in Silva Júnior (2020), Gaiger (2007), França Filho (2020), Brandão (1983), among others. The methodology used adopted the qualitative research strategy, based on participatory research, in combination with bibliographic research, to contextualize the data obtained and contribute to the socio-productive and emancipatory inclusion of the enterprises served. The data collection was based on the analysis of institutional documents, such as notices, publications, and reports. In addition, a participatory survey and interviews with CESOL coordinators and state public managers involved in the preparation of the notices were conducted. The results indicate that the notices should include indicators capable of covering aspects related to the principles of the social economy, as provided for in Law No. 12,368/2011. To achieve this objective, a collective effort is needed to review the process of preparing the indicators, correct conceptual errors, and adjust them to the realities of the territories. This review should be based on a broader vision of the social utility of solidarity enterprises, with a view to promoting socio-productive and emancipatory inclusion.
